2016 ASM

The ASM is the leading Australasian meeting for adult and paediatric infectious disease and clinical microbiology specialists. The conference is an ideal opportunity for connecting clinicians, microbiologists and other health professions with a common interest in infectious diseases and provides a friendly forum for the exchange of scientific advances in the prevention, diagnosis and management of clinical infectious diseases. The conference theme will be specifically chosen to represent key contemporary infectious diseases issues including issues of specific relevance to the Asia-Pacific region.

International speakers will offer expert global perspectives on our themes and Australasian research and expertise will be highlighted with keynote lectures, proffered papers, symposia and educational workshops. ASID's Special Interest Groups will have the opportunity to come together during the meeting. Other opportunities include:

Accessing and engaging infectious diseases specialists from all over Australia and New Zealand (key decision makers in the area of infectious diseases and microbiology, including department heads, opinion leaders, research program directors, drug committee representatives).

Building and improving relationships with infectious diseases specialists and microbiologists.

Supporting the general aims of the infectious diseases and microbiology sector and assisting them toward their continuing professional development needs.
